Great to see a young and motivated content creator becoming passionate about PHAs. Nick did an excellent intro video, comparing two common FDM 3D printing materials with the "new kid on the block," so to speak. We appreciate his work and want to give him a shout-out!
With a resent acquisition in a related business made in Markham, Ontario, Canada. Ecogensis Biopolymers have decided to move ahead with the commissioning and launch of a Made in Canada genPHA filament. Currently overseas to scope the custom filament machine design, order will be placed and machine to be delivered by end of October, Trials and commissioning, training staff and establish all the SOP for production for an official launch January 2027.
This will provide a non-PLA blended PHA in the Canadian market at the best possible price (unless someone wants to build a $100M PHA raw material plant in Canada as well.....).
I would like to upgrade the non-functional Voyager AOS-58 back up camera. Any good recommendations? See they now have wireless systems thus easing the install efforts. But if there are brands recommendations? Tks
Ran 1st test successfully. Website will be up by end of month and ready to take orders.
Quantity will be limited on this next run, so if you want to pre-order. PM me and I'll start and manage the list for the vendor.
Cheers
Oh, now I know....

This is long overdue.
Using open source code to then pretend its protected by IP. Is 100% BS.
And no less from a Chinese owned brand, a country with a long establish history of patented theft.
Wanted to say thank you to the team at Snapmaker for making their platform open source. including the firmware.
This is a huge sign of relief and acknowledgement for the work done by the thousands of volunteers over the history of open-source 3D printing.
Well Done.
Most of this is well known by this community, but its great to see someone breaking it down in an easy video. Plus I am sure he would appreciate the support from viewership.

This particulate customer started out using our PHA filament to create functional protypes of these plastic wads. Then we transitioned his product to Injection Molded material.
Ballistic testing in harsh conditions is no joke. And the material performance is custom tailored for the application.
For reference, its estimated that 83 tons of PP or LDPE is used and consumed by the sport shooting and hunting industry. That's 83 tons of plastic blasted into the environment, over fields, lakes, rivers, wetland. Name it.
All of that reduced to a material that won't take the next 200 years to break down, and will do so harmlessly.
Print Time: 8:15 Hr.
0.2 mm layer height, 15% infill.

The warping is minimized to less than 1 mm across the entire print surface.
